Dr. Kenneth Field brings a wealth of experience from academia and commercial practice into this book. He is a winner of numerous cartographic awards for his original maps as well as his writing. His work has been recognized by numerous peer-reviewed bodies for its quality, and this book brings together this body of cartographic knowledge for the first time. Ken is active in a wide range of societies and external bodies (International Cartographic Association, British Cartographic Society, North American Cartographic Information Society), and has written and edited books, journals, and papers, and presented keynotes on cartographic design widely. This is a landmark book that makes a strong statement about the worth of cartography and cartographic thinking and the value of a designed approach to making maps in a contemporary setting.
